To do this, a giant teeter totter was set up, with the Clio on one side and a huge box to hold "likes" from [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-for-what-youre-made-of) on the other. Each time someone virtually "liked" the Renault Clio on Facebook, a real-life thumbs up cutout was added to the box. When over 16,000 "likes" poured in, 60,000 people tuned in to Ustream to watch the seesaw tip live. The simple and effective campaign played up the Clio as 'The First Car Carried By Facebook Likes.' This is a brilliant way to take something virtual and turn it into something tangible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Social-powered Campaigns:** More brands will utilize social media as a tool to gauge customer engagement and loyalty towards their products or services. - **Interactive Marketing:** There is a growing trend towards experiential marketing that captures attention, promotes engagement, and leaves lasting positive impressions. - **Virtual to Physical Transformations:** Brands will continue to look for innovative ways to transform digital interactions into tangible experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Car companies can create interactive campaigns that show off their products in unique and interesting ways, leveraging social media to engage with consumers. - **Social Media Marketing:** Agencies can leverage social media tools to develop creative campaigns that drive engagement and awareness for their clients. - **Event Planning and Activation:** Experiential marketing agencies can create interactive events and activations for their clients that leave lasting impressions through social-powered engagements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Classically French Car Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oui-oui-baguette-by-renault.md) - [Cheeky Electric Vehicles Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-hijacks-competitors.md) - [Hands-Free Driving Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/passenger-princess.md) - [Online Car Retailer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deflate-the-dealership.md) - [Creative Auto Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-capri.md) - [Online Car Retailer Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clutch-ad.md) - [Cheeky Refund Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scenic-suv.md) - [AI-Lead Car Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Be-Surreal-Be-Ford.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md)
